Installing a new controller or I/O card

If you install a new or replacement controller or I/O card in your DeltaV system, the new/replacement item might contain firmware that is not compatible with your current system. Check the revision level of the new/replacement item and install the correct revision level firmware if it does not match your system revision level.

To ensure compatibility of your controller or I/O card, perform the following steps:

1. Check the firmware revision level of the new/replacement item using the DeltaV Controller and I/O Upgrade utility. Click DeltaVInstallationController Upgrade Utility, and then click the Show Revision Info button.
2. If the revision level of the new/replacement item matches your system revision level, you do not need to do anything further.
3. If the revision level of the new/replacement item does not match your system revision level, upgrade the controller or I/O card.
